Information and Fact Guide

 

The Lubricant Recovery Machine technology was developed by Envirotec Consultancy Ltd. in Auckland, New Zealand. This enables wire drawing companies using dry lubricants to recover good lubricant from their contaminated die box waste - once considered total waste but now defined as discard. This discard is processed to recover the unused lubricant.

Companies that use recovered unused lubricant have experienced virtually the same operating characteristics as with new lubricant. (see testimonials)

Reduction in lubricant purchases, waste disposal costs and production benefits such as increased drawing speeds and product quality provide significant potential to company profits.
